That is a somewhat misleading paraphrase of my position. 

I believe that they have specified a  new use for a codepoint which has been
assigned  but not  used, and  I don't  see why  that should  be  treated any
differently than a request for a new codepoint. 

Since they don't  have deployment yet, this seems like a  good time for them
to fix  their specs  and remove the  unfortunate dependency.  It  seems like
there are many ways  for them to do this, as there  is no real dependency on
the semantics of the Host Address FEC.
